I've had more than my fair share of compliments over my nails for the past fortnight.
Especially since I popped this photo from my birthday post up:
I had so many people asking me what polish it was. Unfortunately for those hoping to get their mitts on it, it's actually an NSI coloured gel. Topped with a coat of clear gel suspended with a whole ton of micro holographic glitter. Lovely stuff!
The photo above was taken exactly two weeks ago, the day after I had it.
Even now it's still looking fabulous:
It's so nice not having to worry that I really should take my polish off as it's getting tip wear. I don't have any of those problems (ring finger tip wear is from filing) with a gel mani.
I did wonder if I could commit myself to a colour for three weeks and I think if it wasn't glittery, I just couldn't do it. But the glitter in it reflects light like crazy and it's such a dazzling affect.
I will be sad to see this go in a weeks time but at least I can sleep easing knowing I won't have to remove the ton of glitter. And maybe one day soon I'll treat myself again to a gelicure.
Have you ever had one?
What do you think of them?
Could you commit to a colour for a fortnight or longer?
I LOVE this!! such a lovely colour! You also have lovely nails - are they your own or did you gel over falsies??
ReplyDeleteI hadshellac done once and it was so nice to not have to worry about it for ages (I have really weak nails so nail varnish chips within a couple of days!

@Sam They are my own! But I have a gel overlay out on top because they snap and peel super easily else. This way I can keep them long and strong. :)
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely! I've already said I love the colour once. Gel polishes are brilliant, though I do struggle to keep the same colour on for 2 weeks, but they are great for growing your nails. xx
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't think I could...I always think I spend so much on so many polishes why would I get something like Shellac etc where the same colour would be on...and I'm such a geek for co-ordinating my nails with my outfits lol. This glitter does look lovely and maybe you're right, I suppose glitter goes with anything too right? And I'd love to not have the pain of removing it!! xxx
ReplyDelete@LydI'd never had it before so I thought I'd try it for my birthday! :D
ReplyDelete@Carla Hmm I know what you mean but I mostly wear black/grey/red so it's easy to go with things like that. :P I honestly don't have that many polishes though. Maybe 40? I don't want 100s and 100s.

Your nails are blinking beautiful!! If I could find a gel polish as lush as that I'd wear it for 3 weeks xx
ReplyDeleteWOWZERS. That looks bloody amazing. I'm such a sucker for glittery nails, well glittery anything really haha xx
ReplyDelete@Kim Thanks Kimmy K! :D I'm quite looking forward to Friday and being able to wear something a bit more girlie and pink!
ReplyDelete@Abbie Omg me too! Anything glittery = want!

Oh my gosh, so pretty!! I honestly don't own any properly glittery nail polishes, because I always disliked them, but recently I've come across so many amazing ones. I really need to pick one up, don't I? ;)
ReplyDelete@Kat WHY ARE YOU EVEN CONTEMPLATING THIS?!?! Glitter is in my URL! Everyone needs some.
